Emancipation Day Poem by Roxanne Dubarry

The day when President Abraham Lincoln freed the
African American slaves, was an emancipation day.
When Great Britain liberated their own slaves,
was another emancipation day.

In 1910 when the women of England, won the right to vote,
was an emancipation day. Later on in 1920, when American
women won the right to vote, was a milestone in our country.

Emancipation Days look fine on paper. They do not become a
reality until they are enforced. Government intervention
can carry the enlightened message only so far.
We the people must be willing to carry Liberty's
torch of freedom! Let the bells of freedom ring!

'Ask not what your country can do for you. But ask
what can you do for your country? ' John Kennedy, and
his younger brother, Bobby, paid the ultimate penalty!
Martin Luther King would pay for with his life,
equal rights for people of color!

Freedom of religion. Is the major relevant issue
today! I honestly feel it will lead us into WW111!
Self-proclaimed prophetic voices believe we are
already there. We are merely in its earliest phases!
What this world desperately needs: is the freedom
to worship as we please!
